SSC CGL - 23 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

In △ABC,D is a point on BC such that  ∠BAD = 12\frac{1}{2} ∠ADC and ∠BAC = 77° and  ∠c = 45°. What is the measures of  ∠ADB?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 64°

In triangle ABC,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180.

∠B = 180 - 77 - 45 = 58°.

By using the exterior angle property,

58 + a = 2a

a= 58

2a = 2 × 58 = 116

∠ADB = 180 - 116 ( linear pair)

∠ADB = 64°.
